I guess I have no choice but to come up with a new domain name and start over. Life is full of hard lessons. In the future, stay away from plugins. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Kadence Security – Password, Two Factor Authentication, and Brute Force Protection] No choice but to start over?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-choice-but-to-start-over/) * Thread Starter [OldMizer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oldmizer/) * (@oldmizer) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-choice-but-to-start-over/#post-4955407) * A file (or files) on your site at [http://electroniccigarettesstop.com](http://electroniccigarettesstop.com) have been changed.

My problem is a tad bit different. I added this plugin to my website for security because it’s a business site with a .com extension. I cannot get into the back office with wp-admin. I see all these suggestions and am not sure how to follow any of them if I cannot get into the back office. * I went through the flags to “Fix It”/fix the problems. You can still get to my website but it appears I locked myself out from my own back office. I cannot log in to edit or make additions to my business site. * Any suggestions or advice would be most appreciative.
